Beach, pools and spa

The resort has direct access to Kata Noi Beach, a sheltered bay at the southern end of the Kata area. There is a freeform infinity pool in the public area, with a lifeguard on site, plus the private pools in the villas.

Serenity Spa offers massages, facials, body scrubs and herbal steam treatments.

Activities and entertainment

Days here are relaxed: beach time, the infinity pool and spa treatments. Kata and Karon beaches, with more restaurants and shops, are a short drive away, and Karon is about 3.5 km away.

Phuket’s driest and calmest weather usually runs from about November to April, which is peak season. From around May to October the southwest monsoon brings more rain and rougher seas on the west coast beaches, when red flags often mean swimming is unsafe, but prices are lower and showers often pass quickly.

Beyond the resort, Phuket offers boat trips to Phang Nga Bay and the Phi Phi Islands, the Big Buddha viewpoint, the colorful streets of Phuket Old Town and a long chain of west coast beaches from Mai Khao in the north to Kata and Nai Harn in the south.

Who it’s best for

• Best for: couples and honeymooners who want an adults-only pool villa with direct access to a quieter beach.
• Consider another resort if: you are traveling with children under 12, or you want to be close to the airport.

Getting there from Phuket International Airport

Phuket International Airport (HKT) is about 49 km from the resort, roughly 75 to 80 minutes by car depending on traffic. Airport transfers can be arranged for a charge.

Taxis and private cars wait at the airport, and many resorts can arrange a car to meet you at arrivals. Travel times on Phuket vary a lot with traffic, so leave extra time when heading back for your flight.
